I need some new retaining clips to hold the t-balls in place when raising/lowering the mast. These are the little plastic clips that swivel to cover the mast slot and prevent the t-ball from popping out. I thought they were sold on this site but I can't seem to find them. Anyone know what they officially called or a part no.? Thanks in advance!

Believe it or not, the manufacturer discontinued them. Last I saw Annapolis Performance Sailing had some at a crazy price. There is a substitute product out but it requires putting a rivet in your mast, hardly convenient. We're scrambling to figure something out.

If anyone has experience with molded rubber products contact me. :)

I bought 6 from Rigrite about a month ago. Hard to believe they cost $9 ea. + a steep S&H fee, if I remember correctly $15. But I'm glad I got them.
